A background check form must be completed by school volunteers every five years. Download and print the form here: Background Check Form. Mail your materials to Yinghua or drop them off in the main office: 1616 Buchanan Street NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413.

For privacy reasons, Yinghua contracts with an outside company, McDowell Agency, for background checks. Our school’s parent association covers the $20 fee for background checks for parents and legal guardians of currently enrolled Yinghua students. Other volunteers, please provide a $20 check payable to Yinghua Academy for the background check to be performed.

If you are not a member of the Yinghua community, please include a cover letter telling us about yourself and your interest in volunteering at Yinghua. We’d like to know if you speak Mandarin, how you heard about Yinghua Academy, and what skills you’d like to share with us.
